Chapter 14: Dominating Training and Securing a Key Rotation Role

Amid the public uproar, Real Madrid’s internal training is steadily progressing, and the countdown to the second round of the new season’s league has begun.

After his match-winning debut and legendary performance, Cristiano Ronaldo’s position within the team was firmly established, but he never slackened or became arrogant. He continued to hold himself to the strictest standards, training daily to push to the limit, and his form steadily improved.

Every morning, just as dawn breaks, Cristiano Ronaldo is always the first to see Cristiano Ronaldo practicing alone on the green field of the Valde Bebas training base.

Sunrise morning run, endurance reserve, core strength training, repeated free kick training, and penalty area targeted training.

Day after day, rain or shine, his extremely disciplined attitude impressed every staff member and young player.

During the second week of the new season, during the internal group training sessions, Carlo Ancelotti specially adjusted the lineup, placing Cristiano Ronaldo directly in the starting lineup to fit the team’s complete tactical system.

The brand-new main lineup has been trained and fully showcased Cristiano Ronaldo’s current terrifying unstoppable dominance on the court.

Throughout the internal skirmish, Cristiano Ronaldo was in explosive form and was unstoppable throughout the match.

His off-ball runs up front are cunning and tricky, always able to accurately predict where teammates will pass and defensive gaps, disrupt the rhythm of the entire defensive line, and create excellent attacking space for teammates.

With his back to the ball and his ball protection as solid as a rock, he held his own against intense close-quarters pressing and physical battles from several young defenders, even easily overpowering young players with top-level positioning and center of gravity.

He excels at breaking through the wings, finishing in the middle, and free-kicking long-range shots, with comprehensive presence on both offense and defense. His vision, overall game vision, and tactical understanding lead all players in every aspect.

In the past, Real Madrid’s new generation attacking system relied on Vinícius Júnior’s speed and Jude Bellingham’s midfield management, with a single attacking style that easily caused deadlocks under dense defense.

With Cristiano Ronaldo joining the starting lineup, he has completely filled the team’s final weaknesses.

Unstoppable penalty area finishing, top-tier clutch play, rich match experience, and precise positioning and pulling make Real Madrid’s attacking front a three-dimensional, comprehensive, and flawless attack.

Throughout the match, Cristiano Ronaldo delivered one assist and scored twice, controlling the team’s attacking rhythm and helping the main lineup crush the substitutes 4-0, dominating the court throughout.

The young defender defending him struggled throughout, whether it was close boxing, tactical tussling, or early anticipation, none could contain the 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo.

Unable to keep up with speed, unable to secure positions, unpredictable predictions, and unable to defend against physical confrontations.

After practice, the young guards on the team all expressed their shock: “Chris’s on-court reading ability is terrifying. You never know where he’ll show up next—there’s no way to stop him!” "

Carlo Ancelotti watched from the sidelines the entire time, his eyes full of surprise and determination.

He clearly saw that today’s Cristiano Ronaldo is not just a finishing shooter, but a versatile top-tier core who can link connections, pull the ball, organize, and break through.

With top-tier physical condition, over twenty years of top-level court experience, unstoppable finishing talent, and a powerful mental leadership aura, he perfectly fits the current Galácticos team.

At the tactical summary meeting after training, Carlo Ancelotti publicly announced the rotation schedule for the new season.

“For all upcoming La Liga and Champions League dual-track events, Chris will directly secure the core spot in the main rotation.”

“In regular games, when the team is behind, in the final breakdown phase, Chris is the absolute tactical core, and the whole team is focused on offense.”

The official announcement was made, and no one in the team objected; everyone was genuinely convinced.

From the nostalgic veteran everyone looked down on before the game, to becoming a legend in one game, dominating in training, and finally officially securing the core rotation within the team.

In just one week, Cristiano Ronaldo has firmly established himself as Real Madrid’s main lineup, becoming the absolute ace of the Galácticos title race for the new season!
